Could say the same exact things at my gym.

I would add older folks in cargo pants and/or flannel shirts...have been seeing them a lot. I notice they tend to use the gym as more of a social hour.

Selfie sticks and guys with tripods filming themselves doing exercises are the fricking worst.

You were caught in a fad. Crew socks are the norm, both before and after.

A lot of what you’ll see depends on what time of the day you go.

5am for me is mostly 30-40 year old guys, plant workers, young professionals trying to maintain themselves.

Middle of the day is juiced up bodybuilders and stay-at-home moms.

That blends into 2-5pm after school crowd which is nothing but Jew fros and chains.

5-7 is a mix of after work crowd and everyone else. usually crowded af and have to wait for equipment.

My biggest pet peeve is the gym bag bros. Guys who carry a huge arse bag from station to station and set it in everyone's way and never take anything out of it. There's lockers for that shite, douche.

I don’t like to wear deodorant since it causes dementia and people used to complain about it at the gym but now that my gym embraced diversity nobody notices it anymore


That would be antiperspirants. They have (or at least used to) aluminum compounds. Straight deodorants don't. So, no excuse.

gym bag bros

There are two of these dickbags at my gym in the AM. One places his giant bag of shite on top of the only squat box in gym. Probably has knee wraps and a good pl belt in there, but never uses them. The other likes to take a platform to do an oly warmup and hangs his gym bag on the bar on the closest flat bench's bar... for ... reasons?

My only current gym annoyance is people who wear tall socks because I think you just look silly, but I'm a millennial who loves ankle socks.


Yea, what the hell is the deal with this? It makes the person look like a goober

I can remember wearing high socks and thinking it was "cool" in my early teens, but I was a big dork

All the women under 30 only do glute bridges to make their asses bigger. No other exercises. They park on the Smith Machine or in the squat rack for at least 30-40 minutes. Whoever sold them on this should be making a killing.

Also, gym etiquette is a thing of the past. Parking in the racks or on the equipment, taking weights when someone is at a station without asking. Just because they aren't on the bar does not mean I won't need them; just ask.

Kids thinking it's social hour and being in the way to pass, get on equipment, get to the water fountain, changing rooms, etc. People moving your stuff to get to a phone charger.
